Serves/Makes: 4 cups
Ready in: 1-2 hrs
- 4 cups freshly popped popcorn, lightly salted
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter or margarine
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Place the popcorn in a large roasting pan. Combine the sugar, butter, and corn syrup in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until it comes to a boil. Cook for 5 minutes at a boil without stirring. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla and baking soda. Pour the mixture over the popcorn, stirring to coat the popcorn in the caramel. Place the roasting pan in the oven and bake at 250 degrees F for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and transfer the caramel corn to a sheet of waxed paper. Let the popcorn cool. When cool, break the popcorn up into chunks and store in an airtight container. Optional, add 1 cup of peanuts to the cracker jacks popcorn before stirring in the caramel sauce.
